Food Stories Podcast Episode 4 : FareShare Plus – A Community Cash & Carry

FareShare Plus is a community cash and carry which operates alongside our main warehouse at FareShare Greater Manchester. It gives our Community Food Members an alternative way to access the surplus good-to-eat food we have in stock by letting organisations come to browse the food on offer and take away what they need.

Each week 80 charities and community groups visit FareShare Plus to buy the food they use to serve their local communities. For many groups, food is a way of opening conversations to help those they support access other services.

In this episode of Food Stories, we take you on a tour of our FareShare Plus operation and introduce you to a couple of our Community Food Members who visit on a weekly basis; St George’s Day Centre in Bolton and Fresh which supports schools in Stockport which are are helping families in their community with food.
